Old book covers

This is just … heavenly. An archive of images sent directly … from heaven. Old Penguin and Pelican cover art. Found the link on Book Slut and I’m with Jessa. I could stare at this for an hour and a half.

Like seriously, check this out.

Or this.

Classic. It just calls to me somehow.

One more.

Marvelous stuff bringing up a sense of a whole other time – perhaps with a whiff of the chintzy 70s – a bit of the psychedelic 60s … serious – almost like movie posters – a bit abstract … go check out the whole archive here – awesome.

    Yeah, love that last one, too. Tells a story already.

    those covers are partly why I love shopping for used books…you get to see another generation’s interpretation of what they thought would “go” on a cover.

    (I love the Penguins anyway. That particular shade of orange that’s used on the spines makes me happy.)
